Medical Negligence Litigation

Print this page

The Medical Negligence Litigation Team at Malcomson Law has extensive experience in assisting those who have suffered as the result of a medical accident. While the standard of healthcare in Ireland is quite high, mistakes are sometimes made, and the victim of a medical mistake may be eligible to claim financial compensation via litigation.

Medical Negligence Litigation

Clinical & Medical Negligence claims can cover the following areas:

Malcomson Law believes that taking a medical/clinical negligence claim is not just about achieving fair compensation. We also believe that we have a duty to achieve justice for those who are injured as a result of inadequate care in the medical system, along with increasing patient awareness and ensuring improvements in medical standards and treatment.

The public scandals of contaminated blood products, and the public inquiries, have led to real improvements in the administration of the blood service in Ireland. High profile medical negligence cases have led to greater risk assessment procedures in hospitals, ensuring higher standards of care.

But is is often true that patients who have been injured are reluctant to take a valid claim against a doctor because of the cost of that litigation. Malcomson Law recognises that reluctance. As a result, we offer an initial free consultation together with a range of funding options.
